Just a note in brief response to my friend Bennett Gershman’s comments with respect to the rush to judgment in the Linda Fairstein matter. I was addressing myself to that which was done to Ms. Fairstein. I was not commenting on the Central Park Five case, that matter has been dealt with clearly and definitively. I was not aware that I had to comment in a manner determined by others.
Do two wrongs somehow make a right? For the film Ms. Fairstein was the foil through which all of the ills of the justice system were embodied; Ms. Fairstein is no more guilty of what she is portrayed to have done, in the film, as the exonerated were in reality. The response was visceral and not a dispassionate review of the facts.
